It's been a few tough months, but now we're finally ready to unveil our project on Kickstarter.

For those of you who don’t know already, we are trying to raise $600.000 for the completion of Interstellar Marines: Prologue; a sci-fi FPS that offers a unique blend of tactical co-op, progressive role-playing, and non-linear gameplay, featuring the intense backstory leading up to First Contact!

No, guys, no. Just no. I was about to purchase the spearhead pack, but now it costs $100, and I cannot afford that. Will I still get all of the episodes and access to multiplayer demo if I contribute $30 on kickstarter? Will I get the steam key?

The wording of the $30 tier seems pretty clear to me. You get a copy of Prologue on Steam as well as a DRM free version (in the above tier that it says you get everything from.) You also get a "VANGUARD GAME IDENTITY" (whatever that means), your name in the credits and "Open Door Development access to Prologue all the way to its completion." That part pretty clearly means you get alpha/beta access to the game though if it means anything more than that I couldn't tell you.

I dunno what you mean by "now it costs $100" since I only just noticed the kickstarter myself but that seems fair enough for what seems to amount to a collector's edition purchase of 3 games. Take it or leave it but it's pretty obvious what you'll get.

a while back, before steam and kickstarter involvement, the bundle cost a lot less

Ok, so $100? So what happens if I pay this, then not enough other people kick in and the amount isn't reached? I just lose my $100 right?Erm, excuse me, but isn't this what publishers are for? I mean I see the point of avoiding them so you can avoid making more generic and tired games, but they are there for a reason.I don't mind donating a little money, that's not a problem if I lose like $10 (or £10 seeing as I am in UK) if the game gets scrapped. But I am only prepared to kick in a serious amount of money for the game, not for a MAYBE. That's asking too much, no matter how good the game looks, sorry.And why are you releasing what is essentially one game in 3 packs? So you can get 3 times more money, right? Well, that's just greedy in my opinion.The game looks awesome, I will probably donate you a little cash (if I can donate such a small amount, I don't quite know how this works yet), but I am not preordering even ONE of these games until I KNOW I am going to get what I paid for

No, you don't give them any money until the amount is met, if not, you don't lose anything. You should look a bit deeper into kickstarter before rambling on.

Oh right. Yes I should. I just read an article in pcgamer, and that implied very heavily that you just donate money.If this is the fact, then that's pretty good.The only problem left then is the fact that they are charging for one game 3 timesThanks for correcting me, seems I was very mistaken about this.
